Akhtamar Island is of deep historical and cultural significance to Armenians worldwide. Though the island is now part of Eastern Turkey, it still retains its Armenian name, coined after the cries of a nobleman who drowned while yelling “Akh, Tamar!” as he made his way across Lake Van to visit Armenian Princess Tamar. Today, the 9th century Cathedral of the Holy Cross (featured on the design) is the only structure that remains on Akhtamar Island.
